so try and match up the boxes of tubes to the tubes in the console. if that is a full replacement of New Old Stock Tubes that may be worth the $25 (probably more but dont go out and buy a new car just yet....).
kinda sucks he wants to keep the cabinet, it looks like it has potential.
if you hack of the power cord i would be interested in it, i collect the plug ends for antique fan and lamp projects.
Good Luck
